Using CriticMarkup with pandoc. It serves both as a wrapper and a
pre-processor.

# Definition of CriticMarkup

- Deletions: This is {--is --}a test.
  - Additions: This {++is ++}a test.
  - Substitutions: This {\~\~isn’t\~\>is\~\~} a test.
  - Highlighting: This is a {==test==}.
  - Comments: This is a test{\>\>What is a test for?\<\<}.

# Installation

Install using

``` bash
pip install pancritic
```

# Usage: pancritic as a markdown wrapper (including but not limited to pandoc)

pancritic provides a pandoc-like cli. Pandoc users will feel right at
home. See help from

``` bash
pancritic -h
```

A typical use of pancritic will be like

``` bash
pancritic -s -o index.html index.md
```

See examples in [HTML](tests.html) and [PDF](tests.pdf).

## pancritic specific options

- `--engine`  
    The default engine is `markdown`. Valid options are `markdown`,
    `markdown2`, `panflute`, `pypandoc`. You need to install the
    respective package in order to use them. `markdown` and `markdown2`
    are pure Python, hence useful for other CPU architechture.
    `panflute` and `pypandoc` both uses pandoc as backend.

- `-m`|`--critic-mode`  
    a/accept, r/reject: accept/reject changes.
    
    d/diff: generates a diff. In HTML output, JS is used for toggling
    between diff, accept, reject.
    
    m/markup: treat the CriticMarkup as Markup. i.e. in HTML output
    there isn’t any toggles but the diff view only. In LaTeX output,
    diff and markup modes are identical except for an additional nav.
    `-m m` should be used with LaTeX output.

## Previous Users

### Previous Users of pandoc-criticmarkup

This is completely rewritten in Python. The cli has been completely
changed too. The former options of `-a`, `-r`, `-d` are replaced with
`-m a`, `-m r`, `-m d`, and added a `-m m`.

### Previous Users of `criticParser_CLI.py`

This is a heavy fork of `criticParser_CLI.py`, with these differences:

1.  CLI has changed, with a more pandoc-like interface.
2.  Python 3 (and 2) compatible.
3.  Bug fixes (formerly hightlight without comment are parsed
    incorrectly).
4.  It has much more input/output format options as well as engines.

Examples,

``` bash
criticParser_CLI.py input.md -m2 -o output.html --css css.html
# is equivalent to
pancritic -o output.html input.md --critic-template css.html --engine markdown2
```

## Advanced Usage: pancritic as a pandoc preprocessor

A somewhat surprising behavior is when the to-format and output
extension is different. In pancritic, the to-format indicates the
CriticMarkup parsing behavior (mainly tex vs. html). And the output
extension controls the final output’s format (e.g. markdown, html, etc.)

An interesting use of this is to use pancritic as a pandoc preprocessor
instead, like this

``` bash
pancritic input.md -t markdown -m m | pandoc -s -o output.html
```

This will be useful if more advanced pandoc args are needed.

# Caveats

- Nesting CriticMarkup might have unexpected behavior, especially in
    LaTeX output. See [the caveats section in the spec of
    CriticMarkup](http://criticmarkup.com/spec.php#caveats).

- mainly tested with HTML and LaTeX output. RST output almost works,
    but injecting CSS/JS into the output causes some problems.
    Currently, it can be get arround with `--critic-template` and
    injecting the CSS/JS manually. See `pancritic/template.py` for the
    template used.

## LaTeX Ouptut

Note that the LaTeX output requires the LaTeX packages
`changes>=3`.\[1\]

One can tell pandoc to use this package by either using a custom
template or `--include-in-header` option. Or you can use the trick of
putting the following in your YAML front matter, like this file:

``` yaml
---
fontfamily: lmodern,changes
...
```

Markdown within the CriticMarkup will not be rendered in LaTeX output.
If you want to change this behavior, you can take a look at: [LaTeX
Argument
Parser](https://gist.github.com/mpickering/f1718fcdc4c56273ed52).

1.  The version of the package in TeXLive 2018 is still v2.
    [TeXLive 2019 should be available
    on 2019-4-30](https://www.tug.org/texlive/), meanwhile you need to
    
    ``` bash
    # sudo is needed in most cases, depending on where you put it
    sudo tlmgr update --self
    sudo tlmgr update changes
    # check it is >=3
    tlmgr info changes
    ```
